Registered 501(c)(3) organizations are offered the opportunity to fundraise in front of participating Harris Teeter locations. Fundraising events are not allowed in front of our stores in Northern Virginia, Central Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, the Washington Metropolitan Area or at our Distribution Centers. It is important to remember that Harris Teeter receives thousands of fundraising event requests each year. To help as many organizations as possible, organizations may only host two fundraising events per calendar year in front of the same participating store. Harris Teeter also reserves the right to cancel an event should it receive customer complaints.

Non-profit organizations must:

1. Submit fundraising event requests at least four weeks but no more than six months in advance of event date.

2. Follow all Harris Teeter rules of customer service during scheduled event and respect requests made by the Harris Teeter manager-on-duty.

Guidelines:

1. Harris Teeter will review requests in the order that they are received.

2. Each store may only host two events per month. Only available stores will appear as a valid selection in the Store Locator tool. If a store does not populate, it is not available.

3. A non-profit organization may host events at multiple stores throughout the year. However, the organization may only host an event in front of the same store twice in a calendar year.

4. Harris Teeter reserves the right to decline a fundraising event request if activities conflict with day-to-day store operations or if the store has received complaints about the non-profit organization placing the request.
